Before she even realizes what has happened, she has already signed the contract to become the first wife of the Pharaoh's son and moved to live in the royal harem.

Year 1391 BC. Unlike the other wives in Pharaoh Atekhramun's harem, Ra-nef-ankh doesn't want love or adoration from the Pharaoh. She wants revenge.

And how do you get time alone with the Pharaoh in a harem where everyone is fighting for his attention?
Our entry for the Open Novella Contest 2022, based on prompt 53: All the girls in the Pharaoh's harem shared a common goal: earn his attention, bear his offspring, and rise above the rest. Not her. She was there for revenge.

Blood (Epic of the Mediterranean) [Book 1]
They say that keep your friends close, enemies closer. But just how close? Close enough so as to have them carve out your heart, or close enough for them to secure an inevitable place inside it?

Persia expresses immense contentment with the end of the mortal enemy and takes the peace as an indicator for a rule of serenity. Only, it isn't quite so. The most treacherous member of the Kinkha blood is still alive, a threat which wasn't taken under consideration since the time she was born. An impending conspiracy dawns with her which includes many participants hidden within the empire under the forged veils of loyalty. The Lord of the Persian state of Bactria is Asmaka Araxa Kayasth, one of the five most prevalent powers which were involved in the victory of Cunaxa. Sharing a history of enmity with the Kinkha family name, he annexes Sogdiana while crushing them into nonexistence. He takes in a slave, without an idea about what all would come with her. 4th century B.C. Persia is the supreme empire of its time with Arthaxerxes II as its shahanshah. A period which was drawn by the blood and valor of the most prodigious rulers and the knowledge of self-actualization throughout the world. Behind the blinding shimmer of the exquisite luxuries exist conflicts of family and values, betrayals, treacheries, imperial enigmas, tension amongst thrones, hunt for spiritual wisdom and uncertainties. *** [COMPLETED]Lengkap

For over a thousand years, the Sea God has ruled the endless oceans, his power feared by mortals and worshipped by kings. His storms shape empires, his tides decide the fate of nations.

And each one has failed him. The sea remains silent, barren, and his throne grows colder with every passing century. Until one night, against every law of nature and every curse of the gods, a fragile human girl carries his child. She is everything he despises-mortal, weak, fleeting. He has drowned cities for less than a whisper of human defiance. And yet, inside her grows the one thing he has longed for more than power, more than eternity itself. Now, torn between hatred and desire, vengeance and hope, the Sea God must choose: Will he destroy the girl who embodies everything he loathes... Or protect the fragile spark of life that could finally break his eternal loneliness? A tale of forbidden love, divine wrath, and the one bond strong enough to shake the heavens-the bond between father and child.Lengkap
